About this Mod
This is my first public Minecraft mod, created using the Mcreator mod maker. This is also my first Modrinth project!
Features
So this mod adds a few new features and 3 new structures into the game. This is so you know about the things in this mod.
Items & Blocks
Dark Magic
This is an item that is crafted with one Wooden Sword. Dark Magic can be used as a furnace fuel and is the best furnace fuel of all. With 9 Dark Magic, you can create a
Dark Block
Dark blocks are all black and is a hazard to players and mobs because it deals damage when a entity touches it, inculding items. But it can also be used to make a hole look like it goes into the void! Dark blocks are also waterloggable and light goes through it.
Dark Monster
A Dark Monster is much more dangerous than the Dark Block due to its speed and ability to break through walls. They look like a player that is half the normal size and with a black color for it's texture. And don't think of swimming away! If they happen to be standing on water, a 3 by 3 obsidian platform spawns below them and if they still manage to be in water, they will just shoot up into the sky. But Dark Monsters don't spawn naturally, so YOU are the one to spawn them in by crafting their spawn egg. Dark Monsters spawn Dark Blocks around them and they randomly break blocks around them.
Explosive Ball
This item is like a throwable TNT and is a dangerous weapon. To craft it you must get a Magma Block in the center, and one Gunpowder at the top and bottom of the magma.
Super Bombs

Super Bombs are made with a Super Bomb Base block and lava next to it. Once the Super Bomb Base is powered with redstone, Dark Magic starts flowing as a liquid and a Dark Monster spawns. Every 10 seconds, a bell noise plays and the pitch gets lower with each ring until a higher pitch bell rings to indicate the last 10 seconds. In total the Super Bomb takes 60 seconds until it explodes.
Super Bomb Core
This item is required to craft a Super Bomb Base block for a Super Bomb. A Super Bomb Core is filled with Dark Magic to power a Super Bomb.
Structures
Darkhouses
These are structures that generate all over the Overworld and they always have a double chest and a small library.
Bedhouses
They also generate all over the Overworld but they are filled with white beds.
Houses
These are just your completely normal abandoned houses with nothing weird inside.
